DOGS
THE DOGS AT THE ARK COULD USE YOUR HELP!
The Ark needs your support! For your convenience, online donations can easily be made via Google Checkout using any major credit or debit card. It's so easy to donate any amount quickly and completely securely - simply enter the amount and click the button shown below.
The Ark has our own organization to honor and support our older animals: AARP (Ark Association of Retired Pets). See our "Golden Years" pets currently available (adoption fee waived for senior citizens).

We use Patented Kuranda Dog Beds because they are durable, chew proof and easy to clean. If you would like to donate a bed to us, click here.
AGE DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, most of the orphaned animals who come to the shelter looking for homes don't bring birth certificates. Sometimes we know our pets' ages. Sometimes we don't. So we make our best guess by the condition of their teeth. Sometimes we are fooled. We ask that if you are concerned about the age of the pet you adopt, you take the pet to your veterinarian for the vet's best educated guess.
Adoption fees are waived for pets eight years and older adopted by senior citizens 60 years and older with the Ark’s "Golden Years" program. The "Golden Years" dogs are included on the "dogs" pages, or click here for a special page listing all the "Golden Years" pets.

Accepting Surrendered Animals by Appointment Only
ROSCO is a 3 year-old, neutered black and tan hound, perhaps mixed with greyhound or another type of slim slight hound. Even though he looks quite delicate, Rosco is exceptionally strong on lead and needs training with his canine manners. He's a sweet boy, though. A victim of the economy, Rosco is sad because he's missing his young person with whom he shared a strong bond. We'll have more information soon on this sweet boy.

TILLY is a cream colored, spayed 5 year-old standard poodle in need of a lot of attention. Since she has never been around children, a home with adults only would be best. Tilly hasn't had much life experience and never had the opportunity to be socialized. While she gets along with other dogs, she is not at all friendly with small dogs. She is crate trained and housebroken, and she walks well on lead. Tilly is a quite shy, but a very sweet girl, hoping that an adult person or couple will adopt her into their "forever" home.

SADIE is a 74 pound, 2 year old, mixed breed (with that big, blocky head, maybe a little shar pei mixed in?) who will have been spayed by the time you read this. One of the friendliest dogs you'll ever meet, Sadie is just a big schmooshy sweetie pie. She is house trained, adores car rides, and walks well on lead. Sadie has good canine manners with basic obedience down pat. She loves to play with her toys, gathering them up, and then choosing one at a time to toss around. Come meet Sadie. She likes everyone she meets, and she's always willing to offer a high five. Click on her photo for a larger view.
There are often dogs at the shelter, who are not yet listed on the website. If you are interested in adopting a dog, please call the shelter to inquire.
